[PATCH] ll_rw_blk: allow more flexibility for read_ahead_kb store
It can make sense to set read-ahead larger than a single request. We should not be enforcing such policy on the user. Additionally, using the BLKRASET ioctl doesn't impose such a restriction. So additionally we now expose identical behaviour through the two. Issue also reported by Anton <cbou@mail.ru> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
